How to Talk Texan

It is often said that people in Texas speak differently than in other parts of the good ole' USA. We have different expressions, or "Texasisms", and we pronounce words differently. This can be very interesting and intriguing, yet also a bit perplexing. Have you ever asked, "What are they actually saying"? "What do these words and expressions mean"?

Well, if so, then this is the book for you! This book begins with brief explanations on Texas geography, economy and culture. It then touches on linguistical nuances of the Texan vernacular before getting into the "meat of the matter", which are the Texan expressions.

With over 150 of the most common phrases, you will be exposed to real Texan speech. Each expression has a definition so you know exactly what is the meaning behind the phrase. Additionally, each expression is followed by two (2) example sentences so you can see how it is used in standard context. After reading through this book, "You'll Be Speakin' Texan In No Time"! You may, however, have to work on your Texas "twang" or "southern drawl", lol, but that will come with time!
